Google Adds Call Recording To Gmail

Gmail recently added the ability to make phone calls from your inbox, and they've recently (silently) rolled out the ability to record incoming calls as well.

While we mentioned call recording as a cool way to take advantage of Gmail calling, Google adding in this feature means you don't need any extra software to get the job done—just hit the record button to record the call with Google Voice. Note that it only works for incoming calls—you won't be able to record calls you initiate from your Gmail inbox.

Google hasn't officially announced anything about the new feature, but reports of its existence are cropping up all over the net. We tested it ourselves, and sure enough, as long as the call was incoming and not outgoing, that little record button popped right up. Let us know if you have the new feature (and how you plan to use it) in the comments below.
